The wife was hovering above me last night so I could not elaborate much.
I am leaning towards a cheetah 140 I have. The ideal engine seems to be a k120 the cheetah is only a few grams heavier
slightly shorter in length and a 1/4" larger in diameter. I also have a a Rabbit SP I could use.
From my research the people flying them with 100s do not seem to be disappointed with the performance.
My only concern is fuel consumption. Im thinking a cheetah throttled back would maybe be more fuel efficient than a rabbit getting worked a little harder....

Yeah, the foam thing was not a great decision. The Cheetah is the 31 lb version?

To those that have some flight time. What is the neutral point of the stabs. ?{ not mentioned in manual} I am setting up control throws on mine. Any control throw changes from manual ? CG ? I am setting up flaperons , Is this a good idea or not needed ?
Thanks,
Scott

your stab neutral will be dependent on CG.
I would start with a very slight amount of up eleveator.
maybe 1/8 to 1/4” above the speedbrake.
From my limited research the recommended CG and throws seem to be Ok.
Are you getting close to Maiden? What are your thoughts on the build so far?

Hi Scott, the only F16 I’ve ever had is a Tams 1/8.
